Gloom is the third EP
by American death metal
band Job for a Cowboy
. It became available digitally and physically via mail-order only on June 7, 2011. The EP was limited to only 2,500 physical copies, and when asked why this was, vocalist Jonny Davy said "I feel like we're the type of band where so many people simply illegally download our records in the first place.

Due to former guitarist Bobby Thompson's departure, Nick Schendzielos (of Cephalic Carnage
) was brought in to record guitar, replacing all of Thompson's previous recordings on the EP.
